Spent most of last night
Dragging this lake
For the corpses of all my past mistakes
Sell me out, the jokes on you
We are salt and you are the wound

Empty another bottle
And let me tear you to pieces
This is me wishing you into the worst situations
I'm the kind of kid that can't let anything go
But you wouldn't know a good thing
If it came up and slit your throat

Whoa, whoa
Ooh
Whoa, whoa

Your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears
Rather ones that just don't care
'Cause I know that your in between arms somewhere
Next to heartbeats
Where you shouldn't dare sleep
Now, I'll teach you a lesson
For keeping secrets from me

Take your taste, back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No once in a while"
"Oh once in a while"

Take your taste, back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No once in a while"
"Oh once in a while"

And did you hear the news?
I could dissect you
And gut you on this stage
Not as eloquent as I may have imagined
But it will get the job done
And you're done

Every line is plotted and designed to leave you
Standing on your bedroom window's ledge
And everyone else
That it hits, that it gets to
Is nothing more than collateral damage

Take your taste, back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No once in a while"
"Oh once in a while"

Take your taste, back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No once in a while"
"Oh once in a while"

    the dragging the lake thing is like just a general murder scene reference i guess.

    places i've heard it are in the alk3 song, this song, and the atticus compilations.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer

In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
